A Look into My Day

Get an inside look at how I plan, prepare materials, and introduce different types of activities to my toddler.

I was very hesitant with purchasing Teaching Toddlers at Home because of the cost, but it was worth it. I was struggling with finding age appropriate activities for my son, but Amanda’s strategies have helped me approach learning in a way that helps my son. Now we follow his lead which sometimes is nonexistent and other times can last up to 35 minutes. I really loved how each lesson had action items that I could implement right away.

Tot School was leaving me overwhelmed. I didn’t even know where to begin. Amanda’s course helped me become aware of each learning domain and now I make a conscious decision to make sure each domain is covered every week. My son is enjoying the new variety of activities. Teaching Toddlers at Home was easy to follow and understand with straightforward ideas that were easy to implement. I loved the concrete ways to organize our space and the easy method of scheduling our day. You can take her ideas directly from the course and apply them.

Our Experience

This is the exact process I use to teach my toddler at home. It took me a year to figure out the best way to set up Tot School. I needed to have a structure, but I knew a child-led environment was the best for my daughter. My Tot School program gives parents the structure they crave, and the child-led learning a child craves. Sicily enjoys her Tot School days and even asks for school on our non-school days.

Following my child-led approach Sicily has been able to master at least 12 letters, all her shapes, all her colors, and counting to 12 before her second birthday. The best part is she learned these things on her own time without being forced, formally taught, and without flashcards or workbook pages.

Meet Your Teacher

​

Hey Beautiful Mama! I'm Amanda, and I'm the founder of Sicily's Heart & Home where I teach mamas just like you how to teach your toddlers and preschoolers at home. Before becoming a stay at home mom, I was a teacher. I graduated University of Phoenix with a BS in Elementary Education. I also have an AA in Early Childhood Education from Carroll Community College.

I have taught all ages from infants to middle school. My heart lies within the classrooms of toddlers and fourth graders. I've taught in head start programs, preschools, and elementary schools before I decided to homeschool my children. Now, I'm here to help you teach your little one at home.

When I first came across the idea of Tot School, I had no idea what I was doing. I tried 4 different schedules and rearranged my approach at least 6 times. Each time I changed something, my daughter and I both ended up frustrated. After a year of experimenting, I've come up with the perfect step by step system to get you started with a child-led Tot School.

Now we enjoy our Tot School days full of stress free learning. We do two activities a day that Sicily is 100% engaged in and learning from. She asks to do school every day.​

Can't I just find the information for free online?

You can find all sorts of information for free online, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. I spent hours searching Pinterest and Google for the perfect solution to my Tot School issues, but never found the perfect answer. In this course, I teach you how to create an environment that works best for your unique toddler and family situation.

Can't I just let my toddler play all day?

Of course! The majority of your day should be free play, which we learn about in this course. But you should also be exposing your toddler to some academic concepts and developing a strong love of learning, which is what Tot School is all about.
